Substitute y value: Substitute the value of y into the first equation.Given y=4, we substitute this value into the equation −5x+5y=10.−5x+5(4)=10
Simplify and solve for x: Simplify the equation and solve for x.−5x+20=10Now, subtract 20 from both sides to isolate the term with x.−5x+20−20=10−20−5x=−10
Divide to find x: Divide both sides by −5 to find the value of x.−5x/−5=−10/−5x=2
Write as ordered pair: Write the solution as an ordered pair.We have found x=2 and we were given y=4.The solution in the form of an ordered pair is (2,4).
